Banned Books List 2025 What books are banned in 2025? Thousands of titles have been removed from public schools across the country.

What was the most #bannedbook in U.S. schools in the 2024-25 school year?

Topping the list, after being banned in 23 school districts, is a 1962 novel that Time magazine named one of 100 best books of all time in 2010.

These are the 15 most-banned books in America: pen.org/banned-books...

Sarah Jessica Parker receives our PEN/Audible Literary Service Award, as an β€œindispensable defender” of the freedom to read. Parker captured the crisis of censorship in The Librarians, a documentary she executive produced. She also uplifts underrepresented voices through her own imprint SJP Lit.
